just few minutes ago... Goons has destroyed 4 freighters in high sec (u can check eve-kill.net), total drop worth 21.5 billion isk!!!

21.5 Billion isk people!!!!

that beats 10/10 DED, FW Missions and incursions all together!!

if u want all alliances to leave their 0.0 systems and just go fun terrorizing high sec and earn money for that... stay cool about it CCP... as it will destroy the game

u gave protection for miners... its time for freighters/ JF revamp...

I was about to talk of null sec warfare but then I remembered you just mentioned "Goons" so I think I'm going to wait and have fun reading all the funky stuff you guys are going to rabble about this.

Because OP does not like something it will destroy the game.

OP, you have great power.

Also, how dare a 0.0 alliance enter high sec. Roll

Yes.. it is totally destroying eve... ganking in high sec has always been around and still the game kept growing every year. If the freighter pilots carry around enough cargo so that it is worth suiciding them it is their own fault.

You might as well ask for an ibis to be buffed to 1 million EHP because one guy thought its smart to undock in a rookie ship with plexs worth 60 billions or how much it was.

In the end if you buff freighters most likely you will only make suicide ganking more profitable as people will feel a lot more secure and will carry around even more in their cargo holds.

Perhaps that "pvp" thing in highsec is getting a bit inconvenient for some people, huh.

Those freighter pilots could also set an escort fleet and take care of their business but no, they rather play alone with their dozen alts scouting systems and then cry their millions HP hull got gank with several dozens times the ship value in their cargo.

Gank mining barges with destroyers is silly, really really mongoloid game play. Gank freighters it's serious business and only serious gankers can afford to know when and how to do it, I see no problem here.

Oh dear, morons who carry far too much stuff make ganking profitable.

Looks like we need Derp Sec, as some people are too dumb even to keep themselves from losing isk in high sec.

That freighter died because the people who tried to defend it had no clue on what they were doing. The freighter was bumped all the way to 800km off of the gate, not one person even tried spawning concord there during that time. Not one person thought it'd be wise to sacrifice some cheap blackbirds to jam the attackers. In short, the defenders did nothing that mattered.

No, I wasn't there. I was simply reading about it in chat real time, laughing at the stupidity of the defending side.

Btw, the defending side was incursioners trying to defend a shipment full of their own boats, a bhaal, legion and some other junk that'd be much better off dying in actual combat.

Troll thread? Troll thread.

Ganking industrials/frieghters/etc has been part of EVE forever. If anything threatens to destroy the game it's catering to risk-averse wowscrub hisec dwellers. This is not a game where your characters and stuff are "safe". Deal with it.

Or just wait until CCP turn hisec into hello kitty online with failwatch and subsequent expansions

It is just plain stupid to transport so much ISK at one time without a fleet. Loot well deserved.

Those freighter pilots are slacking, I don't see epic amounts of exotic dancers in the cargo.

The 6ish billion isk drops were nice though.

lol@ derpsec, let's hope they never make hisec safer than it already is. Situational awareness FTW

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Im sorry dude, but freighter pilots need to be more carefull. Niarja is well known gank heaven. I never transport more than 1-2B in freighter (at least not through Niarja and peak times).
